With cold and wet weather looming on the horizon, several Los Angeles City Council members have asked the city to evaluate the feasibility of using the downtown Convention Center into a temporary homeless shelter.

Didn’t Houston do something like that for hurricane victims? It turned out very poorly, if I remember.
I wish LA luck. At some point one has to learn the difference between enabling bad behavior and truly helping people. Most studies have shown that the homeless are composed of three or four groups. The smallest is a group down on their luck. another group has mental health problems, a third group has substance abuse problems, and a fourth group is some combination of the three previous.
Those down on their luck can be helped if they want help and are willing to do the hard work required to restart their lives.
So much of the current homeless problem focus is associated with substance abuse and mental health problems that the individual really isn’t ready to deal with. You can’t force someone to change and they generally tend to just walk away from treatment. That is the real problem.

Instead of trying to rectify the homeless problem, let’s just play a shell game with them and shift them from place to place to place. GG, Cancerfornia.
If you more of something, reward it. That statement is as reliable as gravity.
And once in they’ll NEVER leave.
And shemp smith reported that all the people in there were raping kids and being cannibals.
Talk about racist.
instead of embracing capitalism and reducing homelessness, they keep doubling down on it and doubling homelessness in the process.
This ‘structure’ was designed in 1969, and opened in 1971...next year, making it 50 years old.
My humble guess is that they want to ‘destroy’ it enough...that in three years...they will ask the state to fund them around $700-million to build a new facility.
As for this facility, county health authorities will probably condemn the place within five years. The tear-down cost will be enormous because of the needles and meth around the place.
That’s one way to fill the arena right in the middle of basketball season.
Hmmm... gulags for the undesireables
Cold and wet weather looming in Los Angeles?
Those Los Angeles winters are pure hell.
Nancy will drop the Virus phase 2 at that time.
As someone who has more than a few years volunteering in this area, you post nailed it. I’ve taken teens on service projects to skid row and there are lots of services down there to get people back on their feet. Substance abuse and mental illness is not easy to treat or overcome. God bless.

Democrats can’t govern. They are lunatics who don’t see the reality in front of them.
These raving communists can only keep violently purging one another because someone is always “not pure enough” to deliver pure socialism. Many of the original Soviet Bolsheviks were taken out and shot because they were not “doing communism right.”
They always think the reason for communist mass murders, starvation, human misery and economic failures for the past 100 years was the “wrong people were in charge.”
Listen to the ex-bartender and moronic AOC. Her fellow Leftists are “not doing it right.”
Only a complete enema to flush capitalism from our bowels will bring us to the promised land of pure happiness and contentment.
You wouldn’t let such idiots babysit your cat for the week-end
With some paint, curtains and flowers, they can turn this place into another crooked voting precinct.
Why don’t they just send em’ all over to Lebron’s house?
This will end up costing the state a fortune and the homeless will never leave.
